SUMMARY:Ekphrasis – A Monthly Book Club About Art
DESCRIPTION:Leonardo and the Last Supper by Ross King Milan\, 1496 and forty-four-year-old Leonardo da Vinci has a reputation for taking on commissions and failing to complete them. He is in a state of professional uncertainty and financial difficulty. For eighteen months he has been painting murals in both the Sforza Castle in Milan and the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The latter project will become the Last Supper\, a complex mural that took a full three years to complete on a surface fifteen feet high by twenty feet wide. Not only had he never attempted a painting of such size\, but he had no experience whatsoever in painting in the physically demanding medium of fresco. For more than five centuries the Last Supper has been an artistic\, religious and cultural icon. The art historian Kenneth Clark has called it 'the keystone of European art'\, and for a century after its creation it was regarded as nothing less than a miraculous image. Even today\, according to Clark\, we regard the painting as 'more a work of nature than a work of man'. And yet there is a very human story behind this artistic 'miracle'\, which was created against the backdrop of momentous events both in Milan and in the life of Leonardo himself. In Leonardo and the Last Supper\, Ross King tells the complete story of this creation of this mural: the adversities suffered by the artist during its execution\; the experimental techniques he employed\; the models for Christ and the Apostles that he used\; and the numerous personalities involved - everyone from the Leonardo's young assistants to Ludovico Sforza\, the Duke of Milan who commissioned the work. Ross King's new book is both a record of Leonardo da Vinci's last five years in Milan and a 'biography' of one of the most famous works of art ever painted. This special program is for members only.

SUMMARY:Ekphrasis – A Monthly Book Club About Art
DESCRIPTION:Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame X by Deborah Davis The subject of John Singer Sargent’s most famous painting was twenty-three-year-old New Orleans Creole Virginie Gautreau\, who moved to Paris and quickly became the “it girl” of her day. A relative unknown at the time\, Sargent won the commission to paint her\; the two must have recognized in each other a like-minded hunger for fame. Unveiled at the 1884 Paris Salon\, Gautreau’s portrait generated the attention she craved-but it led to infamy rather than stardom. Sargent had painted one strap of Gautreau’s dress dangling from her shoulder\, suggesting either the prelude to or the aftermath of sex. Her reputation irreparably damaged\, Gautreau retired from public life\, destroying all the mirrors in her home. This special program is for members only. Visit the membership page to learn more.

SUMMARY:Ekphrasis – A Monthly Book Club About Art
DESCRIPTION:The Lady in Gold: The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece\, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer by Anne-Marie O'Connor The true story that inspired the movie Woman in Gold starring Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds. Contributor to the Washington Post Anne-Marie O’Connor brilliantly regales us with the galvanizing story of Gustav Klimt’s 1907 masterpiece—the breathtaking portrait of a Viennese Jewish socialite\, Adele Bloch-Bauer. The celebrated painting\, stolen by Nazis during World War II\, subsequently became the subject of a decade-long dispute between her heirs and the Austrian government. When the U.S. Supreme Court became involved in the case\, its decision had profound ramifications in the art world. Expertly researched\, masterfully told\, The Lady in Gold is at once a stunning depiction of fin-de siècle Vienna\, a riveting tale of Nazi war crimes\, and a fascinating glimpse into the high-stakes workings of the contemporary art world. One of the Best Books of the Year: The Huffington Post\, The Christian Science Monitor. Winner of the Marfield National Award for Arts Writing. Winner of a California Book Award.

SUMMARY:Ekphrasis – A Monthly Book Club About Art
DESCRIPTION:The Forest Lover by Susan Vreeland In her acclaimed novels\, Susan Vreeland has given us portraits of painting and life that are as dazzling as their artistic subjects. Now\, in The Forest Lover\, she traces the courageous life and career of Emily Carr\, who\, more than Georgia O’Keeffe or Frida Kahlo\, blazed a path for modern women artists. Overcoming the confines of Victorian culture\, Carr became a major force in modern art by capturing an untamed British Columbia and its indigenous peoples just before industrialization changed them forever. From illegal potlatches in tribal communities to artists’ studios in pre-World War I Paris\, Vreeland tells her story with gusto and suspense\, giving us a glorious novel that will appeal to lovers of art\, native cultures\, and lush historical fiction.

SUMMARY:History of the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama with Randall Williams
DESCRIPTION:

Writer\, publisher\, and history editor Randall Williams will explore the larger context of the civil rights movement in a discussion that ranges from slavery through Civil War and Reconstruction to the late 19th and early 20th century activism and organizing that resulted in the 1950s and 1960s dismantling of Jim Crow segregation. Alabama and Montgomery were at the center of this movement but were also part of a national political and social strategy that was evolving in the courts\, the streets\, the media\, and government at all levels. The program will also be recorded and made available on YouTube\, Google+ and Museum's website.

There will be a screening of the film Selma\, Lord\, Selma with a discussion by Sheyann Webb-Christburg\, co-author of the book Selma\, Lord\, Selma. Additionally\, History Refused to Die: Alabama’s African-American Self-Taught Artists in Context will be on view with a docent led tour.

On the evening of the opening of the exhibition History Refused to Die\, Leslie King-Hammond will deliver a lecture about art made by self-taught artists active in Alabama in the latter twentieth century. The works in the exhibition were primarily created by these artists—they are personal\, introspective\, and philosophical creations that are suffused with the quality of memory\, and increasingly appreciated for their visual power and honesty. Created largely with found objects and cast-off materials\, the works are related to earlier works from the folk tradition\, but incorporate the insights of individuals who have known life in Alabama during its period of greatest social and cultural evolution. Leslie King Hammond is Founding Director\, Center for Race and Culture at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Myrna Colley Lee will discuss the exhibition Reflections\, organized from her extensive 20th century African American art collection. Featured are works by Romare Bearden\, Elizabeth Catlett\, Betye Saar\, James Van Der Zee\, Eudora Welty\, Charles White\, and Hale Woodruff\, representing African American lives\, stories\, and communities. In addition to the paintings and works on paper on view are fabric works\, reflecting materials that feature prominently in the life of Ms. Lee. She is a highly accomplished costume designer in the black theatre movement. Curator Jennifer Jankauskas will facilitate Reflections with Myrna Colley Lee.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk and Book-Signing by Ray Smith
DESCRIPTION:

A grand adventure is always worth revisiting. In 1974\, Ray Smith traveled around the U. S. for months\, photographing people and places along the way. Smith says\, "photography...is more closely related to literature\, especially fiction...than it is to the other visual arts. Whether the location is a city sidewalk\, a back yard\, a roadside\, or a door front\, for me the portrait is primary\, and the photograph is a short story exploding beyond its frame."

Please join the artist to discuss the photographs in the exhibition In Time We Shall Know Ourselves: Photographs by Raymond Smith\, followed by a book-signing of the catalog\, which illustrates all 52 photos with essays by Richard King and Alexander Nemerov. Event Organizer: Alice Novak. Event Location: Galleries

Shapiro Almost twenty-five years after the infamous art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—still the largest unsolved art theft in history—one of the stolen Degas paintings is delivered to the Boston studio of a young artist. Claire Roth has entered into a Faustian bargain with a powerful gallery owner by agreeing to forge the Degas in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But as she begins her work\, she starts to suspect that this long-missing masterpiece—the very one that had been hanging at the Gardner for one hundred years—may itself be a forgery.

DESCRIPTION:The Parthenon Enigma by Joan Breton Connelly Universally recognized as a symbol of Western democracy\, the Parthenon emerges in Connelly’s bold new analysis as a shrine memorializing myths radically alien to modern politics. Newly recovered classical literary texts and surprising archaeological finds compel readers to acknowledge the implausibility of the usual interpretation of the Parthenon’s frieze sculptures as a depiction of fifth-century Athenians celebrating their Panathenaic Festival. Led by Curator Michael Panhorst. This special program is for members only. Visit the membership page learn more. Event Organizer: Tim Brown. Event Location: Orientation Circle

SUMMARY:Fleischman Lecture 2014
DESCRIPTION:In our 25th year in the Blount Cultural Park\, we invite you to join us in celebrating a favorite artist in the Blount Collection\, John Singer Sargent. Following a reception\, guest lecturer Erica Hirshler of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston will explore Sargent’s images of women\, from his celebrated and controversial portrait of Madame X to the MMFA’s own glamorous likeness of Henriette Goldschmidt Raphael. Dr. Hirshler’s many contributions to the field of Sargent scholarship include co-curating the current popular exhibition John Singer Sargent Watercolors\; she is also the author of Sargent’s Daughters\, a biography of the MFA’s beloved masterpiece\, The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit. The Fleischman Lecture Series is sponsored by the Carolyn and Winton Blount Endowment in honor of Larry Fleischman\, a dynamic specialist and leader in the field of American art. As president of Kennedy Galleries of New York\, Fleischman played a role in many innovative ventures\, raising international awareness of issues concerning American art. He served as a member of the Fine Arts Advisory Committee of the White House\, co-founded the Archives of American Art (now part of the Smithsonian)\, and founded and published The American Art Journal. During the 1950s\, along with his wife\, Mr. Fleischman amassed one of the nation’s earliest collections of significant American art. Event Organizer: Alice Novak. Event Location: Auditorium
